So far:
When playing Queen greatest hits CD, I normally crank up the volume of the Arcam to around 60 or so but was surprised to hear more detail at lower volumes now at around 50-52 and the bass now has more extension going to the listening position.
Evanessence- MY IMMORTAL, I can now hear the parting of Amy Lee's lips and the click/pop of her saliva as opens her mouth before she sings. 
Tori Amos Under The Pink: Tori's subtle breaths before and after each line is more defined and alot clearer.
Sheesh! Now I feel like picking up 3 more for my Arcam 
*As of this writing the AVR 600 is still in the middle of the break in process and probably has 24hrs tucked under its belt. |

Steve (Herbie) is fast at shipping. Also there is a discount when you spend as I recall over $200.

Thanks Rich. I'll do that. I need somewhat shorter cones anyways for the AVR600 as I only have a little ove an inch of clearance above the unit and it runs hot(but not as bad as my old Onkyo 605 and Denon 3808CI)
BTW, Rich: the Millenium CD mat we were talking about weeks ago does not fit on the CDP as the CD tray of the Naim is weird
I also tried flipping the center channel per your recommendation but has no significant changes/improvements.
